[A]
[E] Walking all [Bm] the day [A] near tall towers [B] where falcons build [E] their nests.
Silver [B]-winged they fly, [A] they know the call [B] of freedom in [E] their breasts.
[A] Saw Blackhead [E] against the sky [C#m] where twisted [A] rocks they run [B] to the sea.
[A] Living on your western [E] shore, [C#m] saw [E] summer
[A] sunsets, [B] asked for more.
[A] I stood by [E] your Atlantic [B] sea [A] and I sang a song for [E] Ireland.
Drinking [B] all the day in [A] old pubs where [B] fiddlers love to [E] play.
Saw one touch [B] the bow, [A] he played a [B] reel which seemed so [E] grand and gay.
[A] Stood on Dingle [E] Beach and cast in wild foam [A] we found [C#m] [B] Atlantic bass.
[A] Living [E] on your western shore, saw [C#m] summer
[A] sunsets, asked for [Bm] more.
I [A] stood by [E] your Atlantic [B] sea [A] and [C#m] sang a song for [E] Ireland.

[E] Walking all [B] the day [A] with true friends [B] who try to [E] make you stay.
Telling jokes [B] and the news, [A] singing songs to [B] while I'm [E] away.
[A] Watched the Galway [E] salmon run [C#m] like silver, [E] dancing, [C#m]
darting in [B] the sun.
Living on your [E] western shore, [C#m]
saw summer [A] sunsets, [B] asked for more.
[A] I stood by [E] your Atlantic [B] sea and [A] I sang a [C#m] song for [E] Ireland.
Dreaming in [B] the night, [A] I saw a land where [B] no one had to [E] fight.
Waking in [B] your dawn, [A] I saw you [B] crying in.
[E] [A]
Sleeping where the [E] falcons fly, they twist and turn all [C#m] in your air [B] blue sky.
[A] Living on your [E] western shore, saw [G#m] summer [A] sunsets, [B] asked for more.
[A] I stood by [E] your Atlantic [B] sea and I [G#m] sang a [C#m] song for [E] Ireland.
